In this delightful short drama, a promising young hurler from the village of Ballykilly, County Cork, is invited to play against County Clare in the City of Cork hurling championship. He does so, and, in the process, finds romance. The film, featuring an appearance from Jim “Tough” Barry, illustrious Cork manager, was produced by Paramount Pictures for distribution in the US where it was well received and secured an Oscar nomination in 1956. The Cork Examiner however, in a review in July 1956 deemed it “a Farce” and “hardly a true representation of the Irish scene”!
